The Beast.

iorange555 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:17:20 -0000

This is the story that will stop the losing streak and take the rangers to the playoffs.....maybe.

April was full of bad moments and bad baseball.
At the end of April Nolan, JD, and Ron had a conference call.
Nolan sat down in his chair at home.
JD was working in the office and had the bluetooth going.
Ron was in his office filling out the lineup card.

"Look guys I asked for this conference call cause I think we need to discuss some things. The ball club is not playing good. All this talk about starting off good, and then we get this. Something needs to happen, and we need to discuss it now" JD said. Ron dropped his pencil down and rubbed his head

Ron: Now I...I...I don't think it's fair to say we might have not be not playing good ball. I think we have been...we've just been getting tough breaks. It's just how baseball go...it'll turn around though.

JD: Look Ron I'm not insulting the team. I'm just saying things aren't looking good right now, and we need to turn it around.

Nolan: Do you think I sound too country in these Olshan commercials?"

JD: What are you talking about, Nolan?

Nolan: Oh nothing, just listen. Nolan turns up the volume on his remote and holds the phone out in the air "IF YOU FIX IT WITH OLSHAN YOU FIX IT FOR GOOD."

Nolan: See don't I sound too country?

Ron: I think if you just speed it up a lit...

JD: GUYS! Get it together. We're talking about this ball club. We're 10 and 11 right now. It's not terrible, but it's not good either.

Ron: I'm telling you JD these guys will turn around. We're a confident group, and frankly I don't like you bringing the mood down. We get two wins in a row, and guess what? We above .500

Nolan: But what exactly are the chances of the team winning two games in a row?

Ron: Get this clown off the phone JD. I'm really not in the mood for smartasses right now.

JD: Guys, calm down. Now listen I'm just going to end this call, but before I do I'm telling you now Ron...if you don't have one unbelievable May you're fired.

Ron slammed the phone down cracking it in two. "SHIT!" He yelled out as he opened his office door and went into the clubhouse. Most of the players were sitting around by their own lockers...some reading books...some tweeting and some not doing anything at all. Once they all saw Ron storm in there they stopped what they were doing and looked up at him.

"Look guys, I just got off a conference call. With Jon Daniels, and Nolan Ryan. You know what they think? They think we suck. That's what they think. Now let's go out there, and show them we don't suck, or else I'm fired."

"LETS DO THIS FOR RON!" Eddie yelled while crumbs of saliva covered cheetos flew out of his mouth faster than one of his fastballs."YEAH FOR RON!" Kinsler shouted as a "RON!" Chant broke out in the clubhouse. "RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON! RON!" everyone shouted. This went on for a few minutes before the Chant fizzled out, but the noise just picked up. The clubhouse was now practically shaking "BOOM.....BOOM" they heard. They all looked towards the hall as they saw a huge shadow coming closer and closer. "Did we get Sidney back in a trade?" CJ said getting a few chuckles out of his teammates. The shadow finally made it's way into the clubhouse, and everyone's eyes followed the shadow up, and what they saw was not human It couldn't be....could it? What they saw was some sort of beast. Some sort of wild hog human breed. CJ pulled out his cellphone, and took a picture. Here is the only image of this creature Beast.

That photo became a big hit on the internets, and the internets called the beast "Medusa." Medusa entered the clubhouse and snarled "Everyone get in a line." Medusa said. No one followed though they just stared at it. "GET IN A LINE NOW!" Medusa yelled almost blowing the remaining hair off of Millwood's head. They all jumped out of their seats and made a line. "Good, good my dears. Now one at a time come up to me, and kiss me on the cheek and whisper your wish in my ear." Jason Jennings was first. He slowly made his way to Medusa and kissed it on the cheek. He then whispered in Medusa's ear "I wish that we win the pennant." Marlon Byrd did the same as Jennings. and wished for the same thing as did everyone else. Medusa wiped it's cheek "Your wishes are my command" Medusa said. and just like that Medusa was gone.

"Woahhhhhhhh did you guys see that? or am I totally just tripping out right now?" Hank said "Nah, dude I saw that too" Young said. They all agreed never to mention it again. They didn't know what to think really, but when they played their games in May they felt like they were unbeatable. Like they couldn't lose. They went 20 and 8 in the month of May, and leaped into first place in the AL west. On May, 31st there was no conference call. There was no need for one the club was on fire, and they couldn't help but wonder was it because of Medusa? Could Medusa really granted their wish? They thought it was crazy, but now they just didn't know what to think.

When June came around they were feeling pretty good about themselves. You could almost say they were cocky. June didn't start out too bad a 3 and 3 road trip was pretty good considering who they were playing. But now as of June, 24th the Rangers are in a 5 game losing streak. 3 and 7 in their last 10 games. The once 4.5 game lead they had is now gone. They're tied with the Angels for first. Now all they can think about is was the Medusa thing a fluke? Are they really not as good as they thought in May? Was it all just Medusa's luck?

Will Medusa come back? Do we need to be on the lookout for another beast to help the Rangers? Only time will tell. For now be on the look out for any beasts out there....they just might be they key to the Rangers success.

To me it seems like C.J. Wilson has lost touch with reality.

It's really sad to see, I mean last season he started off pretty good he was doing fine and getting the job done. But after that ball toss I just don't think he's ever been the same and the warning signs are just right there infront of our faces it's crazy. He's not upset, he has lost touch with reality. I have proof too. If you study his myspace you'll see it, I'll give you some things to look for.

One as you can clearly see on his profile there is a huge picture of him and there's this boy standing in front of him and the boy has writing on his forehead while C.J. is behind him smiling with a marker in his hand. Writing on people's foreheads and then mocking them behind their backs is one sign.

If you look at his playlist you will see he has a song called "just dance" by lady gaga. I'll leave it at that.

If you look at his age it says he's 109 I think we all know he's not 109 so the fact that he believes he is 109 is very sad.

The warning signs are out there folks. Just open your eyes, this is no time to be bashing C.J. saying he's upset. Shut up okay? You don't know him and really I don't know if he knows himself. Please stop the judging I don't see how you guys can read one of his blogs and think you know his feelings. LOOK AT HIS PROFILE. LOOK AT IT! You'll see it too.

We love you C.J.

From DMN

That's right. Matt Harrison is coming to the big leagues to pitch against the AL West Division leaders. Eric Hurley's left hamstring felt better today, but during some fielding drills it wasn't quite at 100 percent and the Rangers don't want to take any chances.

So Harrison gets the call. The lefty has split time between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma and is a combined 6-3 with a 3.43 ERA in 15 starts (84 innings) this season. He gave up one earned run in six innings in his last outing on July 3. He had five strikeouts and two walks.

The Rangers will wait until after the game to figure out what corresponding move they have to make to put Harrison on the roster.
